IMPROVEMENT iN cQMBINnnLANTERNs -ANncANnLnsncxs A'.lhe Schedule referred bovin these Letters atent' making part of the same` Fort Branch,- in the county of Gibsonand ,State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and improved Candlestick and Lantern combined, and that the following is a fulh'clear, and exact description of' the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of the Candlestick and lantern combined, when a candle is used.

Figure 2 is a similar view, when a lamp is used in- Figure 3is a perspective view of the Candlestick separate, showing the supports furthe candle and chimney. t

Figure 4 is a longitudinalsection of the lantern-l bail or handle, and an end view of the covering on'top of the lantern, also showing the band or support of the top end of the chimney'.

In'the drawing- Fig. 1, A is a'tin base, with the three metal stays, B B B, to steady the chimney 0, being bent out at A the bottom, where they are fastened to the base A,

not only to support the chimney O, but to raise said chimney a little from the base A for the purpose of 'ventilation D D D are four small wires, or pieces ot suitable metal, bent in the proper shape, and fastened in the center of the base A, for the purpose of holding andv 'steadying the candle C.

0 is a common glass lamp-chimney, and, for ordinary purposes in this improvement, a number' (1) one will' be about the size to berequired. I

E E is a bent-wire bail, fastened to the rim'P, at

rm m, and the endsof said bail are hooked onto' the catchespa a., whichlare fastened to the base A. P-is a narrow metal band, soldered or fastened to the bail, neai; the top of the glass chimney, also on which is fasteneda cap, S, as a protection for the'band from the heat of'the candle or lamp, and for the purpose of protecting the light from the wind and rain;

The object of this improvement is to make a cheap candlestick, which will cost but a few cents. Having no socket, it will requireno shoving up of the candle, and hence will consume all the candle, without wast-e; and, second, by the addition of merely a cheap, ordinary lainp-chimney, and a bail, with the band and cap,

as shown, hooked onto the candlcstick, a very cheap light and convenient lantern is made, which will answer the requirements of an ordinary lantern, and cost but a few cents, and, incase the glass is broken by accident, it will cost but a tridc to get another one, it being a common lamp-chimney, and sold in all places where lamps are-sold.

I claim- 1. v The Candlestick A, with the pieces ol'metalB B B, and also the wires D l) I), all being fastened to the base A, for the purpose shown, in connection with a glass chimney, as fully described and set forth.

2. The combination ot' the candlestick A, chimney 0, bail E E, rim 1, cap S, and catches a. a, for the purpose described and set forth.
